The ruling on mobilization for jihad in countries where there is war
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh. Is jihad an individual obligation that requires those in Islamic countries to mobilize for countries where there is war, such as Syria and others?
Answer:
Jihad must have certain prerequisites. It is obligatory that jihad be with the permission of the one in authority, the arrangement of the one in authority, and the call to it by the one in authority. The leadership of the one in authority, or the appointment of someone to lead it on behalf of the one in authority. A banner. A banner from the one in authority of the Muslims. This is necessary. This is jihad. As for chaos, where everyone fights and everyone goes here and there without adhering to the correct rulings of jihad, this is not jihad; this is chaos, and this causes more harm than benefit, if there is any benefit. Yes.
